SDG Champion discusses the importance of SDG5: Gender Equality
One of the most noteworthy highlights in the is that 2020 is the year that 国产乱伦 became carbon neutral. We are committed to continuing to work to reduce the wider environmental impact of our publishing and we want to highlight our employees' commitment to addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well.
In this series we're sharing the thoughts, opinions, and contributions of 国产乱伦 staff who are members of our 'SDG Champions' network. In this week's profile we meet Adina Mois, Senior Manager in Researcher Insights and Analytics. Adina talks about the importance of SDG 5: Gender Equality and the work being done inside and outside 国产乱伦 to address the SDGs.
What is your role at 国产乱伦?
I am a Senior Manager in the Researcher Insights and Analytics team.
Which SDG most resonates with you, personally?
SDG 5: Gender Equality hits closest to home. While we鈥檝e made incredible progress in the last 200 years, we shouldn鈥檛 let this distract us from the work that still needs to be done to address not just gender equality alone, but through the lens of intersectionality as well. Together with the rest of the SN Women: UK network we are working on making as much positive impact within our sphere of influence as we can.
How do you think a publisher like 国产乱伦 can make a difference to the Sustainable Development Goals?
We help researchers and activists communicate their knowledge and message. There鈥檚 a lot of work involved in vetting research and without publishers like SN it would be more difficult to distinguish between useful and not-useful. It doesn鈥檛 mean that we always get it right, but we get it right more often than most, which matters.
Tell us about someone from outside 国产乱伦 who inspires you by their work to address the world鈥檚 largest challenges.
Only one?! I鈥檒l be cheeky and pick 3. One of our authors, The Secret Barrister, is doing an amazing job on social media in tackling the misinformation surrounding the UK justice system (SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions). Laura Bates, founder of Everyday Sexism, is equally inspiring and at times panic inducing with the stories that she brings to light ( SDG 5: Gender Equality ). But you can鈥檛 move forward without strong institutions to support such efforts, lone voices only accomplish so much. The EU wins my vote consistently working towards all SDG goals.
